Hi Cheryl,

We miss you here! I have been thinking about you recently, wondering

how you were doing. I'm sorry you have some other medical issues,

hope things go well for you in that respect.

I'm doing well, myself. Finally had my sayonara visit with my surgeon

last month. I hated to do it, hated to say goodbye, but it was time.
